It presents detailed information on the painstaking analysis of the unprecedentedly large dataset from the MAGIC telescopes, and comprehensively discusses the implications of pulsed TeV gamma rays for state-of-the-art pulsar emission models. Using these results, the book subsequently explores new testing methodologies for Lorentz Invariance Violation, in terms of a wavelength-dependent speed of light. The book also covers an updated search for Very-High-Energy (VHE), >100 GeV, emissions from millisecond pulsars using the Large Area Telescope on board the Fermi satellite, as well as a study on the promising Pulsar Wind Nebula candidate PSR J0631. The observation of VHE gamma rays is essential to studying the non-thermal sources of radiation in our Universe. Rotating neutron stars, also known as pulsars, are an extreme source class known to emit VHE gamma rays. However, to date only two pulsars have been detected with emissions above 100 GeV, and our understanding of their emission mechanism is still lacking. .Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053AstrophysicsObservations, AstronomicalAstronomy—ObservationsGravitationAstrophysics and Astroparticleshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022Astronomy, Observations and Techniqueshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014Classical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070Astrophysics.Observations, Astronomical.Astronomy—Observations.Gravitation.Astrophysics and Astroparticles.Astronomy, Observations and Techniques.Classical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory.537.535Carreto Fidalgo Davidauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1063072BOOK9910337882903321Revealing the Most Energetic Light from Pulsars and Their Nebulae2529930UNINA
